From this study of automatic gas tungsten arc welding of commercially pure titanium, the following may be concluded: (1) automatic cold-wire GTAW and automatic hot-wire GTAW may be used to weld titanium in the open without contamination from the atmosphere when proper shielding is used; (2) automatic hot-wire GTAW exhibits substantial reductions in transverse weld shrinkage, as compared to manual GTAW; (3) increased deposition rates can be achieved with hot-wire additions to automatic gas tungsten arc welding; (4) automatic cold-wire GTAW and automatic hot-wire GTAW may be used with narrow groove joint designs; (5) direct viewing of the arc may be used to aid in torch placement and wire entry position.
